Abstract

Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is transmitted through tick bites; however, apart from tick contact, it is a known disease that can frequently infect humans through close contact with viremic animals. Lack of tick contact in endemic areas or in patients with symptoms and signs compatible with CCHF during appropriate seasonal periods, during visits to these regions should not lead to a deviation from the diagnosis; and CCHF should be examined. In this article, four different CCHF cases without a history of tick contact were presented.

Özet

Kırım Kongo Kanamalı Ateşi (KKKA) kene ısırığı ile bulaşın görüldüğü; ancak kene teması dışında, viremik hayvanlarla yakın temas yoluyla da sıklıkla insanları enfekte edebildiği bilinen bir hastalıktır. Endemik bölgelerde ya da bu bölgelere ziyaretlerde uygun mevsimsel dönemde KKKA uyumlu semptom ve bulguları olan hastalarda kene temasının olmaması, tanıdan uzaklaşmaya sebebiyet vermemeli ve KKKA tetkik edilmelidir. Bu yazıda kene teması öyküsü olmayan dört farklı KKKA olgusu sunuldu.
